I'm a very hot sleeper. Seems my heater goes on the minute I hit the sack. Wife loves it, I find it difficult to sleep with any covers at first. I continue to sleep warm all night but usually wake up like anyone else...pulling the bag tightly around myself before I exit into the cold morning air.

Luckily the zipper broke on my sleeping bag a few years ago and I was forced to discover the joys of quilting. Allows me to wiggle and flap my arms and legs to chase the heat away when I'm trying to go down for the night.

I'm getting ready to put serious effort into a new bag purchase. I'm on the west coast (temperate northern CA) and I've currently got a 6lb synthetic Alps Mountaineering bag. Seems like I'll probably move towards a 35 degree down bag for now. Someday I'll need to make my own down quilt.

Anyone else like this? What sleeping system helped you out?
